Thread: Mach3 Tool Change Position
Threaded View

Good day all.
My jobs are now starting to need a number of tools changes per run.
Each tool change is done manualy, and I have to jog to a point where I can reach or have room to access the spindle.
I would like some help adjusting the Mach3 tool change macro scripts.
Here is the default Mach3 M6 tool change macro scripts.
C:\Mach3\macros\Mach3Mill\M6Start.m1s
Code:tool = GetSelectedTool() SetCurrentTool( tool )
Code:x = GetToolChangeStart( 0 ) y = GetToolChangeStart( 1 ) z = GetToolChangeStart( 2 ) a = GetToolChangeStart( 3 ) b = GetToolChangeStart( 4 ) c = GetToolChangeStart( 5 ) if(IsSafeZ() = 1) Then SafeZ = GetSafeZ() if SafeZ > z then StraightTraverse x, y,SafeZ, a, b, c StraightFeed x, y, z , a, b, c else Code"G00 X" & x & "Y" & y end if
What is needed to be added to the Mach3 M6 tool change macro scripts to do this?
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards."If first you don't succeed, redefine success"
